  • Patent number: 11821863
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for detecting indicators for structural changes of NMR active test molecules in a test sample, or indicators for structural changes of the environment of said test molecules in relation to a reference molecule. Initial local similarity values are obtained, using a similarity function and representing a local similarity between a reference spectrum and a test spectrum within corresponding similarity regions (SRR, SRT). The initial local similarity values represent a similarity map (SM1) in which contours of a first shape type are indicators (I1) for structural changes of the test molecule, and in which contours of a second shape type are indicators (I2) for structural changes of the environment of said test molecule in relation to the reference molecule.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10578694
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved NMR signal detection are described. The system receives NMR signal data produced by a sample over time in response to an excitation pulse and selects a predefined system function for application to the NMR signal data for systematic variation of signal properties The system function has a different influence on NMR signal components than on noise components of the sampled signal and has a variation parameter to control the systematic variation. A plurality of variation parameter values is provided with differing values to influence broad NMR signals as well as weak NMR signals. The system generates for each variation parameter value a corresponding intermediate data set by applying the system function with the respective variation parameter value to the NMR signal data. Further, from each intermediate data set, a respective base value centered spectrum is generated in the frequency-domain.
